Always stay in groups since sharks are more
likely to attack a solitary individual.

Do not wonder too far from shore --- this isolates an
individual and additionally places one far away from assistance.

Avoid being in the water during darkness or twilight hours when
sharks are most active and have a competitive sensory advantage.

Do not enter the water if bleeding from an open wound or if
menstruating --- a shark's olfactory ability is acute.

Wearing shiny jewelry is discouraged because the reflected
light resembles the sheen of fish scales.

Avoid waters with known effluents or sewage and those being
used by sport or commercial fisherman, especially if there are signs of bait fishes or
feeding activity. Diving seabirds are good indicators of such action.

Sightings of porpoises do not indicate the absence of sharks
--- both often eat the same food items.
